PACIFIC STUDENTS
ATTENDBIG RALLY

Large Crowd Attends Program
Honoring Herbert Hoover

KINDERGARTEN PARTY
GIVEN UPPER-CLASSMEN

The Pacific College students were
quite In evidence at the Hoover rally
held in the Legion Hall last Friday.
They were put through the paces by
both Esther Muller, song leader, and
Charles Beats, yell king. The pep band
very ably added the musical accompani-
ment to the efforts of the students di-
rected toward music. The yell king
even gave all those assembled a fine
chance to yell, to which very many re- [
sponded and the hall roof narrowly es-
caped a trip through the atmosphere,
thanks to the janitor who opened the
windows.

To begin the program the Newberg
band played several pieces which made
the tapping of feet all over the house
very much in evidence. Then the stage
was cleared and the speakers came onto
the platform. A reading which was
an appeal to all voters to vote was
given after which the speakers address-
ed the meeting and all present left with
a decided warm spot in their hearts for
Herbert Hoover.

Pacific College is honored Immemor-
lally because of the fact that Herbert
Hoover once lived in the town in which
it is located and also because he attend-
ed Pacific during the preparatory years
of his education.

POT-LUCK SUPPER ENJOYED

BY FRIENDS CHURCH CHOIR

Preceding the regular choir practice
on Wednesday, Oct. 17, the members of
the Friends church choir enjoyed a pot-
luck supper in the church dining room.
About twenty-five members with a few
guests and the minister were present
to participate in the pleasant affair.

The theme of bettering the choir and
for the purpose of strengthening of the
church through the choir's service in
song was the central topic of discussion.
The pastor, Gervas Carey, gave a short
talk on "Don'ts for the Choir." Prof.
Gulley and President Pennington were
present and talked on the subject of
the choir from the viewpoint of the
audience and outsiders. The frank dis-
cussion of all points was very bene-
ficial for everyone present.

The regular choir practice and male
chorus rehearsals were held after the
supper. It is noted that a number of
students are finding real places of ser-
vice by participating in the church mu-
sic activities.

SENIOR CLASS ELECT EVERETT
GETTMANN THEIR PRESIDENT

The weighty matter of Senior class
elections has been properly attended to
and the officers are chosen who shall
pilot the Senior bark to its mooring
next spring.

At a recent meeting of that worthy
body Everett Gettman was elected class
president; Stanley Kendall, secretary
and treasurer; William Sweet, social
committee chairman. A committee was
appointed by the chair to consider the
matter of class rings and photographs.

"Backward, turn backward,
Or Time, in thy flight,

And make us all kids again.
Just for tonight!"

Tuesday evening from five to seven-
forty-flve, President and Mrs. Penning-
ton entertained the Juniors and Sen-
iors at their home on Sheridan street.
These sedate persons, yea even the
President, departed from old age and
returned to the days of kindergarten.
Each little boy and girl was ushered to
the artistically decorated parlor with
its huge fireplace and here was given
a pretty, shiny red chair to sit upon.
Here peace and pandemonium reigned.
Peace when the children were busy
with their hands, and pandemonium be-
tween times when some naughty boy
pulled a little girl's curls or sat in the
wrong chair. The kind and patient kin-
dergarten teacher kept a watchful eye
to see that the children ware contin-
ually amused. The little girls sang
songa about lightning bugs and how
they rubbed and rubbed and scoured
their lamps.

The youngsters were each given a
dish of big fat peas with toothpicks to
create different things, and the crea-
tions of the childish minds as expressed
In their building was amazing. Dino-
seurs, hay derricks, Ichabods, dogs, cats,
men in different states of evolution,
houses and many other objects were
the result of the young efforts. The
little boys sang some songs before the
kindergarten instructor brought to each
child a large white piece of paper and
a shiny pair of scissors. Again the im-
agination was given free sway In cut-
ting out the picture of a story, and
it was entered into with great delight.

A lap lunch of dainties and children
delights was served and the personnel
of the kindergarten deported, vocifer-
ously expressing their delight and ap-
preciation to the host and hostess.

SENIOR CLASS MEETS

AT THE ELLIOTT HOME

The home of Mr. and Mrs. M. P. El-
liott was the scene of a Senior gather-
ing on the evening of Tuesday, October
9; purpose, to eat and elect class officers,
the latter subordinate to conditions.

At six o'clock the large family was
seated around the mysteriously laden
table and the selection and removal of
dishes and contents was begun. So de-
lightfully proceeded the affair that the
zero hour approached unheralded and
unheeded. If laughter, according to the
proverbial saying, actually adds weight,
the Seniors should have been visibly
added to In avoirdupois.

As the zero hour (and minus) ap-
proached unheralded but now not un-
heded the dishes were cleared away,
for verily that was all that remained,
and the matter of elections was post-
poned until a further meeting.

CRESCENT TO GIVE PLAYLET

The Crescent is to have charge of
student chapel next Thursday morning.
There will be a short playlet which will
be followed by some pep talks and some
plans for a bigger and better Crescent
which will be presented to all who at-
tend. Also it might be mentioned that
some kind of a surprise awaits, but that
is not definitely settled yet, however.

SECOND YEARS DO AS

THEY WERE DONE BY

The initiation party for the Academy
First Tears was given by the Second
Tears, Friday evening, Oct. 12, at the
home of Orlean St. Onge, at Middleton.
Miss Verplank and Mr. Mather were the
chaperones.

Upon arriving at the St. Onge home,
all entered the house where they were
met and conducted through mysterious
passageways by Orlean St. Onge. They
finally reached their goal, which proved
to be a room in which they left their
hats and coats. Upon descending the
stairs each Second Tear took two First
Tear boys and two First Tear girls and,
after parting their hair In the middle,
painted their faces as hideously as pos-
sible. They then played some games,
after which they were taken to another
room, where each First Tear was forced
to eat several mixtures, one of which
was raw egg mixed with lard, soda and
salt. It is said that most of the vic-
tims agreed that it all tasted very
good! (?) After this more games were
played and Betty Works entertained all
at the piano. Refreshments of. grape
punch and cake were served.

As a closing feature all stood and
sang the College Song.

The following people furnished cars
for transportation: Mr. Mather, Charles
Crane, Wayne Jones, Mr. Smith and
Mr. Hutchens.

FIRST LYCEUM NUMBER

WILL BE NEXT FRIDAY

With the approach of the college Ly-
ceum season the student body has been
active in selling the course, which it
firmly believes to be the best secured
for the local platform In a number of
years. The student body has been di-
vided into sides under the leadership
of Rachel Lundquist and Frank Cole
as captains. The town and surround-
ing communities have been divided sides
— North and South — and on Wednesday
afternoon the faculty dismissed classes
that there might be a thorough and sys-
tematic canvassing of the territory. On
Friday noon the territory was thrown
open and the students are continuing
the work with great enthusiasm, and
at present it seems about nip and tuck
as to which side Is going to win in
actual cash sales.

There is a hot-tamale feed in the
offing for the winning side and a gen-
eral good time including a volley ball
game, a sort of free-for-all. Here's to
the winners, may they have to work
hard!

ATHENA 80CIETY MEETS

A special meeting of the Athena Lit-
erary Society was called by the presi-
dent on Oct. 10. The following officers
were elected to fill the vacancies from
last year: Faculty Advisor, Miss Ver-
plank; Crescent Reporter, Mary Sue
Binford; and Social Committee Chair-
man, Edith Kendall.

The Fourth Tear class has sent in
the order for class rings through a lo-
cal jeweler, Mr. C. A. Morris. Of course
the rings won't be here for several
weeks, but If in that time you should
hear noises louder than usual Issuing
from the Academy building — it prob-
ably will be the Fourth Tear "Ring
Leaders!"

QUAKERS WIN DOUBLE
VICTORY FROM REED

P. C.

Soccerites Are Scored on
for the First Time

First on Oct. 12, and again on Oct.
18, P. C. and Reed College, In the grand
old game of soccer, and on both occa-
sions socked her for goals and goals.
As a result of these two frays the doc-
ile Quakers killed off a total of seven
Reed goals and only suffered one cas-
ualty In their own ranks. But scores
aren't half of it. The games were so
fast it would be pretty hard to describe
them.

The game at Portland was not so in-
teresting as that on the home field be-
cause of the one-sidedness of the play-
ing, Reed not having practiced to any
extent. After considerable kicking and
more missing, Dick Haworth sneaked
up on a goal, shot just as he broke
cover and completely ruined him. With
variations this was the trend of the en-
tire game, Mr. Haworth manning the
heavy artillery and scoring the four
goals.

The game at Newberg was a different
matter. Reed came prepared to wing
a few goals herself. To say the game
was fast would not be saying anything.
But it was fast and clean and filled
with the sportsmanship everyone likes
to see. Moore drew first blood by knock-
ing in a long hard angle shot, and some
time later Smith got his limit by a clev-
er bit of team work between Silver and
himself. Did Reed stay put? Boy, how
they came back! P. C. saw the ball
go by a few times but only had a good
look at it when it rested in the net
behind P. Gatch. After one more goal
for P. C. and a lot of shins for both
teams, the whistle ended an hour of
fast and good fun.

Does Pacific like soccer, and are they
doing anything with it? Just ask any
student for your first answer and ask
Reed for your second.

It sure did' our old hearts good to
see the Student Body so in back of
the team. Let's keep it up and have
some fun and do some good ourselves.

COLLEGE EDUCATION PAYS
College campuses from Maine
to California and fro mFlorida
to the frozen fastnesses of
Northern Canada have bloesom-
ed forth in the early autumn
with a brilliant crop of green,
perhaps the only example of na-
ture's handiwork which does don
a coat of green at the time of
the first frost. Thousands of
boys and girls as well, products
of last June's high school and
preparatory school graduating
classes, have entered upon the
most important period of their
education. Their motives for en-
tering college are many and var-
ied, and range from the desire
to make the athletic teams to
spending four years in what
seems a prison where learning
is forced upon unwilling neo-
phytes in allopathic doses. It is
only fair that the freshman
should know what he is going
to receive in college and to what
extent he will be benefitted.

His association in a more or
less intimate friendship with
members of the college faculty
should beget in him a proper
respect for intellectual prowess.
He will meet men who through
long devotion think their lines
of work outshine all others.
Thus a capacity for judgment
is formed in discerning the more
important from other degrees of
importance. Tradition gives the
faculty collectively and individ
ually the characters of tyrants
and oppressors who make the
otherwise pleasant days of col-
lege life drudgery and torture
But any man several years out
of college can look back with
pleasant smiles to some one or
two professors whose guidance

and kindly encuragement have
made hard roads easy.

Constaiit mingling with his
kind in all manner of college and
extra college activities has a
large effect upon the forming of
character in the young student.
A man who can meet men upon
a common ground of intelligence
and good judgment, discuss the
problems of the day in the man-
ner in which he learned in col-
lege circles, stands higher in the
opinions of his fellows. But
character and personality with-
out learning do not constitute
a college education, nor does a
pedantic belief that book knowl-
edge is sufficient. Athletics,
class room mental vigor and
campus activities all contribute
toward the finished product of
a college graduate. A college
man has learned to think, to con-
centrate upon a question and
delve into myriads of conglom-
erate facts and extract those ap-
plicable to the subject. — Alame-

LETTER FROM A MOTHER TO

HER DAUGHTER AT PACIFIC

Dear LitUe Girl:—

It is hard to believe that our young-
est has gone away to college. It seems
only yesterday that you went trudging
off for your first day at school. With
all of you gone, dad and I are pretty
lonesome. Even old Rex looks like his
last friend had deserted him, and the
piano seems to give us reproachful
glances when we pass. Did you forget
your ukelele? I found it after you left
and will mail it if you want it.

I know you'll like being a Freshman
at Pacific. You have heard Aunt Es-
ther tell so much about it. She was
in the very same dormitory twenty
years ago that you are In now. She and
a friend of hers went together. I re-
member so distinctly the contrast be-
tween the two. Aunt Esther was bub-
bling over with enthusiasm from the
time she crossed the campus until she
packed her trunk to leave at gradua-
tion time. Her first letter home was
thirty-seven pages closely written. It
took that for her to tell of "the lovely
quaint old rooms" (and that twenty
years ago), "the delightful canyon, the
marvelous oak grove, the inspiring in-
structors, and the happy, congenial at-
mosphere felt everywhere."

Her friend wrote, "I've finally select-
ed the least objectionable of the ugly
little rooms in this old barn the author-
ities choose to call a dormitory. So far
everything is dull. Please send me some
cash,"

Those letters were typical of the at-
titude of each during the entire course.
Aunt Esther found everything Interest-
ing. She made much of the pleasant
things, no matter how small they were.
She radiated enthusiasm In the athletic
games, in all student body activities
and in every department of Christian
work. She forgot the unpleasant things
as quickly as she could. In fact her
attitude was to get all that was pos-
sible to get out of college life, and sure-
ly no one could have received more.
She still talks about it and enjoys it.

I want you to cultivate your already
natural tendency toward Aunt Esther's
bright outlook on life. There is noth-
ing more valuable than a keen sense
of appreciation. Keep in mind that col-
lege days are soon over and try to make
the most of every hour as it passes.

Goodnight, dear. God bless and keep
our little girl, so far from home. Let
us hear from you often.

Lovingly,

Mother.

WHAT JOHN R. MOTT THINKS

OF HERBERT HOOVER

Dr. John R. Mott, lifelong leader In
the Young Men's Christian Association
and in other social and religious move-
ments, especially among the youths,
thus sums up Mr. Hoover's qualifica-
tions for public service:

Mind

"The thoroughness and up-to-dateness
of Herbert Hoover's mental processes
and methods, combined with his prac-
tical bent, show his rare qualification
for constructive statesmanship.

Conscience

"His sensitive and strong social con-
science and his keen responsiveness to
forward-looking proposals and measures
for further social welfare are Impera-
tively needed In the leadership of the
nation and the life of the world during
the years right before ua. I would find
it impossible to name any man in pub-
lic life who, within the range of his
opportunities, has demonstrated his pos-
session and use of such qualities in a
more helpful and satisfying way.
Understanding of Other Peoples

"His wide and thorough knowledge
of the life, mentality, and trends of the
peoples of Europe, Asia, Latin Amer-
ica, and Australia rarely equips him for
fostering most helpful International re-
lations, especially from the American
point of view. In recent world jour-
neys I have had occasion to observe
this again and again. Few are in a
position to appreciate what an exten-
sive and highly efficient staff he has
built up and developed in the widely-
flung activities of the Department of
Commerce. What other country today
has such prompt and reliable reports,
with all that this means for the fur-
therance of the interests of industry,
commerce and finance, and of right un-
derstanding with other nations?

"One of the greatest tasks before Am-
erica today is that of assimilating or
weaving in the strong strains which
the foreign elements in our population
are bo well able to supply. Right here,
Mr. Hoover is in a class by himself.
He has an appreciation of all these peo-
ples, based on intimate knowledge of
their backgrounds, distinctive qualities,
and aspirations, and they have confi-
dence in him; and all this would go far
to Insure much needed progress in the
assimilative process.

Tolerance

"In his exceptional activity in meet-
ing great emergencies and crises in the
pathway of disasters, and m his admin-
istration of great humanitarian projects,
he has revealed a rare spirit of toler-
ance, a large comprehension, and an
appreciation of men of different nation-
al, racial and religious backgrounds,
What does this not make possible In
the service of a complex, cosmopolitan
nation like our own?

An Inspiration for Youth

"In my contacts with youth all over
the land, in the South as well as the
North, I have observed that he com-
mands to a remarkable degree the con
fidence and following of young men and
young women, not only in the schools
and colleges, where it is significant that
he has carried all the polls, but also
among the youth outside such lnstitu
tlons. By his governing ideals, his hab-
its, and his life record from the days
of boyhood and young manhood, as well
as his attitude toward the great moral
Issues of our day, he is fitted to be Just
-such an example to the youth of the
land as they should find in their Presl-
dent."

Father (reading a letter from P.
Gatch at college): "Philip says he just
got a beautiful lamp from boxing."

Mother: "I just knew he'd win some-
thing in his athletics. Phil just has
the knack of winning things, hasn't
he?"

A man once thought up the idea of
fixing his car bo that it would give
him no more trouble, so he went to
a "parts" shop and got himself a gas-
oline vaporizer, guaranteed to save 20
per cent in mileage. Next it was a
superheater for his engine, guaranteeed
to economize the running of his car
20 per cent. Then he put on new tires
all around, guaranteed to give 20 per
cent more mileage. Soon he saw a
new brand of gasoline, guaranteed to
save 20 per cent on mileage to the gal-
lon. Lastly it was a new type of car-
buretor, guaranteed to save 20 per cent
in gasoline consumption. And now this
brilliant driver, with a full economy
of 120 per cent, finds it necessary to
stop his car every 100 miles, and bail
five gallons of gas out of his tank to
keep it from overflowing! — Anonymous.

The End

It would soon be over — he looked at
the pistol, fingered the trigger and sigh-
ed. Why must it all end? Why did
not time stop in its eternal flight? He
looked about him — a sea of faces, hi-
larious, hardly realizing that in a few
seconds he would end It all. Why did
they stare at him so? He'd show them —
The pistol! That was it. He raised it
toward his head, took a last deep breath
— and fired! A woman screamed pierc-
ingly — The game was over! — Cal "Pel-

CHAPEL NOTES

]

October 18
The first Student Chapel of the year
was held Thursday morning, Oct. 18.
After a song, and devotion led by Es-
ther Gulley, the meeting was turned
over to the new yell king, Chas. Beals.
The program turned out to be a regu-
lar old-fashioned pep rally, and after
an inspiring talk by Mr. Beals urging
all students to do their duty in sup-
porting the school, the student body
gathered at the front of the room for
practice. The appearance of the new
pep band led by the song leader, Es
ther Mueller, added new enthusiasm
and the songs and yells which followed
showed Pacific's real school spirit. The
members of the soccer team were in
troduced and Coach Gulley gave a brief
talk on the prospects of the afternoon
game with Reed.

Rev. Clarke gave an inspiring talk
in chapel Friday, Oct. 18. He read the
acocunt of Paul's journey as a prisoner
to Rome, and he compared one's life
to a voyage on a great ocean, where
one will meet with storms and wrecks
as well as smooth sailing and calm.
Rev. Clarke said that the advice of God
is too often unheeded, for it is the ten
dency of people to look to the worldly
wise for advice rather than to the voice
of God. This is unwise, for the major-
ity is generally wrong in questions of
moral nature. A person should be sat
isfied in the place he is in, for God
has chosen a course for everyone, and
if one gets away from this course he
will be unhappy. The way of the trans-
gressor is hard, although the beginning
of that way is not hard, but darkness
and trouble await those who refuse to
do God's bidding. Money is the root
of all evil, for it is the ideal which leads
many astray. Rev. Clark said in con-
clusion that Death was a great ship-
wreck where worldly possessions will be
of no use and must be cast away.

Don't We Wish It!

She was very calm.

A great quiet possessed her. An un-
impaired stillness held reign.

No word fell from her lips to break
the hushed muteness. She gave vent
to no speech of violent upbraiding, no
acidulous recriminations, no accusative
denunciations, no tearful reproaches, no
diatribe of depreciative dispargement,
no captiously carping execrations, no
blameful censure, no contumely, no vi-
tuperative invective, no nothing! Not
so much as a murmured whisper es-
caped her silent lips.

She was asleep.

In a prominent church the choir sang
one Sunday morning an unusually bril-
liant Te Deum which had a grand fort-
issimo ending. At Its close the rector
arose, and in his quiet voice read the
second lesson, which on this particular
Sunday was the twentieth of Acts, be-
ginning, "And after the uproar was
ceased."

A Monmouth schoolma'am who had
been telling the story of David, ended
it with: "And all this happened over
3,000 years ago." A little cherub, his
blue eyes wide open with wonder, said
after a moment's thought, "Oh, my,
what a memory you've got."

Art W. (to Wendell H.): "Why do you
dislike me so?"

Wendell: "Well, when you call on
Sis, you put the clock back an hour,
which makes me late for school, and
I get licked for it."

Believe me, every woman knows
which man she would snub if she should
ever become rich!

Smithy (hearing the girl friend shift
gears): "That reminds me, I must stop
at the boiler factory on the way home.

October 10

The new Economics professor and
coach, Mr. Gulley, brought out many
new thoughts on the text, "Blessed are
the meek, for they shall inherit the
earth."

Mr. Gulley said that he had read this
verse many times but without much
meaning, for he could never see how
the meek could inherit or had inherited
the earth. But one day it dawned up-
on him that the cause of the darkness
of the text to his mind was in the mis-
understanding of three words, "meek,"
"inherit," and "earth."

"Whoever heard of meek soccer play-
ers?" asked Mr. Gulley. The trouble
Is that so often the word "weak" is sub-
stituted for meek.

One day while in Mexico Mr. Gulley
went out to buy a horse. Good horses
were scarce there but finally he bar-
gained for a fat roan who appeared to
be able to do hard work. The owner
said, "This horse is as meek as a lamb;
you can lead him anywhere; and he will
work any place." He bought the sleepy-
eyed creature and after taking it home
he hitched it to a buggy and got in,
ready for a ride. It wouldn't go, so
he came down on itB back with a whip;
it kicked the tongue off. He hit the
horse again; it kicked the double-trees
off and broke the dashboard. He got
out and went to the other end which
was still sleepy eyed and he decided
that he had been looking at meekness
from the wrong end." -Meekness is
something besides weakness.

The Children of Israel inherited the
Promised Land but they had to go In
and conquer the giants. One can In-
herit an education but he must work,
for it. The first thing every man must
do is to conquer himself. He must learn
to take responsibility, to control his
temper, to be friendly, to be loyal, and
to avoid gossip.

Mr. Gulley closed by reading a para-
phrase of the text, "Blessed are those
who are gentle, yet strong, who shall
acquire whatsoever they undertake."

GOOD TALK

There are few "good conversational-
ists" nowadays — for which Heaven be
praised! Gifted talkers used to be al-
ways monopolizing the conversation
when we wanted to talk. It takes long
practice and much native ability to be-
come a first-class talker, and then it
may only get you disliked. But almost
anyone, it appears, may become a pleas-
ant and popular person in conversation-
al gatherings, and that is really worth
while.

Says a writer In the "Contributors'
Club" of the Atlantic Monthly:

"The first essential is to talk too lit-
tle rather than too much. Second,
avoid detail. A sketch may be crude,
inaccurate and badly executed, but It
is not boring. Cromwell's "wart-and-
all' theory should never be applied In
conversation, in which the quality of se-
lection is of its very essence. Third,
if you must tell a story — and please
don't do so it you can help it — never
Imitate the mannerisms or intonations
of the people you are describing.

"Fourth, look interested, and, if pos-
sible, be interested in what other people
say. Do not let your eyes or your at-
tention wander. A good listener is nev-
er a bore.

"We cannot all handle foils with BkiU,
but we can all toss back the conversa-
tional ball when It Is thrown at us, and
it should be tossed back lightly — not
hurled in the face of our opponent, who
should be regarded as a partner in the
social game rather than as an antag-
onist. "

Too many people, afflicted with log-
ical minds, seem to think that every
conversation has to be an argument In-
stead of a co-operative discussion, and
that they are under moral obligations

October 17

Mr. Carey spoke in Y. W. on "Our
Disappointments." Someone has said
that disappointment might be said to
be "His appointment." Disappoint-
ments are for the most part due to our
own failures and not to the will of God.

There is an educational value to dis-
appointments. If our motives have
been unworthy, we can not expect suc-
cess. Pleasure Is not always an unwor-
thy motive, but only when it involves
selfishness. The fulfillment of duty will
bring satisfaction and pleasure. Disap-
pointments bring us to the realization of
the need of the Comforter. They pre-
pare us for the most serious purpose of
life — that of serving others. We must
not expect anything but disappointment
if we have been sluggish, selfish, or will-
ful.

Special music was given by William
Wood.

Who can gauge the far-reaching In-
fluence of even the science we have, In
ordering and quickening the imagina-
tion of men, in enhancing and assur-
ing their powers? Common men feel
secure in enterprises It needed men of
genius to conceive in former times. And
there is a literature— for all our faults
we do write more widely, deeply, dis-
interestedly, more freely and frankly,
than any set of writers ever did before
— reaching incalculable masses of read-
ers and embodying an amount of com-
mon consciousness and purpose beyond
all precedent. Consider only how nowa-
days the problems that were once in-
accessible thoughts of statesmen may
be envisaged by common men! — H. G.
Wells.

V. M. MEETING ANNOUNCEMENTS
Tomorrow the Y. M. C. A. will put
on their membership and budget drive.
It is hoped that students will support
this work as much as possible.

Next week in the regular Y. M. C. A.
meeting Dr. Lee, who was unable to
speak to the Y. M. last Wednesday, will
bring a message which no man in school
ought to miss.

Bass Ashing was out of season, and
the game warden who happened upon
our Governor holding a rod and line,
took care to see there were no bass on
the string of fish lying on the ground.
However a few yards farther on, a big
bass was wriggling on a string weighted
with a rock.

"What is the meaning of this?" roar-
ed the game warden.

"Well, you see, sir, it's this way,"
answered the Gov. meekly, "he's been
stealing my bait all morning, so I just
tlefThim till I get through fishing!"

"What is all that group of students
doing in the registrar's office?"

"They are just waiting to see if they
are still collegiate."
